theories of architecture and urbanism

project 1: case study

In this module, famous Danish urban planner Jahn Gehl's book "Life Between Buildings" serves as a basis for our reference. In the book, he discussed the relationship between patterns of space use, especially outdoor activities, and the spatial properties of the physical world. He introduced the concepts of classification of necessary, optimal and social activities.


For this project, we examined the patterns of social activities in a district of a foreign city, Manila in the Philippines to be exact and identify ‘contact points’ and their respective varying degrees of contact intensity.
